I have noticed as of late some painfully thin women. They are not happy with the weigh number on the scale and feel they need to lose more. They call it their "ideal weigh." They call it their "optimal BMI."

To them and all of either gender that discriminate so harshly against themselves, I plead for them to stop and see a plastic surgeon that can help. No, I am not referring to cellulite.

I want the plastic surgeon to assess loose skin. Yes, that flabby stuff hanging off the malnourished body. That flabby skin will never tone no matter how long a person works out on any home gym. 

That flabby skin has hijacked these people's sanity and self-respect.

Skin has weight. An abdominal pannus dropping down can weigh as much as 10 pounds.

YES, TEN POUNDS!

Please, I beg of you, before you weaken muscles and bones or cause 
self-imposed depression; get rid of the loose skin. It is causing malnutrition and emotional distress.
